each students in a class of 40 studies atleast one of the subjects eng,math and economics. 16 study english, 22 study economics,and 26 math,5 study economics and english,14 maths and economics and 2 eng.eco and math.find the number of students who study (1.) eng and maths (2.) english,maths but not eco

let x denote the number of students having MATHS+ENGLISH NOT ECO

and total students  =  40

only english  =  11-x

only maths  =  12-x

only  eco.  =  5

(11 - x)  +  x  +  (12 - x)  +  2  +  3  +  12  +  5  =  40

=>  -x + 45  =  40

=>  x  =  5 

therefore, MATHS+ENGLISH-ECONOMICS  =  5

and number of students of ENGLISH+MATHS  =  x+2  =  7
